Beware! Master Gu is out there for your money! He charges people depending on the person that comes in. I came in and paid for a one month tryout, and two weeks into it he took me outside and gave me outrageous prices and different from other parents. One of the parent told me that he did the same with him and kept telling him not to mention it to me like three to four times. He makes you buy protective equipment that he says it’s worth $250 but reality it’s only $100. And It was very odd to me, the first day I came in with my son, that there was a lot of young kids between the ages of 4-8 walking around with very advanced belts which by the way they can’t even put on themselves. Nevertheless skilled, which means he’s just handing out belts to profit from the testing days. About the how class went, I never saw him teaching my son anything. I would come home after every training class and I would teach my son pretty much everything Master Gu was paid to do. Plus he tells you the classes are one hour long, but he would teach no discipline. Kids would arrive 15-20 minutes late, and he wouldn’t start class until he felt like it. And he would stop class 15-20 minutes early. So I quit taking my son there and took him across the street to Kihon MMA. Which by the way, seems 100 percent more legit. I would suggest you not to waste your money and time with Master Gu. If I could give 0 stars I would, because it’s nothing but a rip off. I suggest anyone to do their homework before signing up your kid into a martial arts class, cause I’m sure after meeting Master Gu, there’s gotta be hundreds out there. So watch out! P.s. I feel bad for all the parents that take their kids there, because their getting ripped off.

Do NOT go here. Master GU is a thief. He will steal your money. He asked me and a few other moms for money ($460.00) for bags and equipment for our kids and he never gave us anything or our money back. Also, he would test students too often without any new knowledge just to put testing money fees in his pocket. He will not respond to any messages.
